Chapter 1479: Chapter 1482: There is only one truth! (Extra update, please vote for the monthly ticket!)

Quickly!

The on-duty doctor from the liver disease department came down.

And started a more targeted treatment plan for the patient.

However, Chen Cang still had a very important task to do at this moment!

It was concerning this bottle of unknown herbal tea!

But, while investigating this brand, Chen Cang discovered that it actually had quite positive reviews!

It’s a type of herbal tea drink produced by a store chain at the West City Night Market.

The place is touted as a century-old brand, and it’s said that herbal tea is also their specialty.

But in reality, they’ve been open for less than twenty years.

To be honest, the audience for this is still quite large!

Chen Cang opened a review APP, searched for the store, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Because most of the reviews were positive!

“This herbal tea is certainly a specialty, it’s a pity the owner hasn’t gone public, or else they’d definitely make a fortune, truly a conscientious business!”

“Yes, I think this herbal tea is really tasty, and the key is it’s even better for reducing heat compared to Wanglaoji and others. My tooth hurt that day, and after drinking several bottles, I must say, the effect was really there!”

“Indeed! I experienced the same, that day I felt a bit uncomfortable in the heat, and after drinking some, felt really good…”

…

The dense reviews looked suspiciously fake!

Failed and returned!

Chen Cang always felt something was amiss!

To check its ingredients, the hospital definitely wouldn’t suffice; it needed a specialized inspection institution.

Chen Cang was quite helpless, having to wait until tomorrow morning.

That night, Chen Cang couldn’t sleep well.

Constantly pondering what could interact with alcohol like this?

Destroying gastric mucosa, while also damaging liver function!

Could it be Chinese medicine?

Throughout this night, Chen Cang, a clinical graduate and surgeon…

stubbornly studied Chinese medicine theory and modern research.

Chen Cang did not believe the saying “Herbal tea has no side effects”.

Discussing toxicity without considering dosage is sheer nonsense.

Drinking Cola every day can make one sick, let alone other substances.

After all, herbal tea is a traditional Chinese medicine product, improper application can also cause a series of reactions.

However…

Chen Cang researched all night, and discovered that neither JDB nor Wanglaoji nor Heqizheng had such reports.

That was peculiar!

Finally, during the morning shift handover.

While the on-duty doctor was explaining the condition, one medication suddenly awakened Chen Cang.

“Ibuprofen!”

Acetaminophen!

Right!

Chen Cang, in sudden excitement, almost jumped up.

Looking at everyone in the department with bewildered faces!

The on-duty doctor suddenly stammered.

Did he say something wrong?

Thinking of this, he grew even more nervous.

However, at this time, Chen Cang cleared his throat, waited for everyone to hand over, and hurriedly left.

Chen Cang had previously interacted with the Food and Drug Administration!

They had quality inspection institutions!

Chen Cang directly took the unnamed herbal tea to the administration.

Nearly a year later, when Chen Cang returned, it was Director Hou Weiguo who personally received him!

Hou Weiguo looked at this young man…

Perhaps he should now be addressed as Professor Chen!

Because the energy of this young man was actually not beneath his own!

“Professor Chen, coming so early, is there something the matter?” Hou Weiguo personally brewed a cup of hot tea for Chen Cang.

Chen Cang said thank you, nodded and said: “Yes, indeed there is something!”

“Director Hou, I now need your help in testing the substance content of acetaminophen in this herbal tea, as well as other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.”

Hou Weiguo nodded: “Sure, I will now have Director Xu test it for you.”

“But… Professor Chen, did you encounter something?”

Chen Cang nodded, recounting the events of the previous night!

After hearing it, Hou Weiguo’s expression changed!

“You mean…”

Chen Cang couldn’t help but say: “My speculation is, merchants added Western medicine to improve the efficacy and effect of their exclusive herbal tea, to attract regular customers, thus increasing business profits!”

“Last night, both patients experienced this; they drank a large amount of herbal tea followed by a large amount of alcohol, causing gastric mucosa damage, leading to vessel rupture and bleeding!”

After saying this, Chen Cang continued:

“Actually, alcohol can cause a massive secretion of serum gastrin, while analgesic antipyretics like aspirin and acetaminophen can similarly increase serum gastrin secretion.

When these are used together, it may cause a dramatic increase in gastrin secretion concentration, leading to massive gastric acid secretion, thus destroying the gastric mucosal barrier, damaging submucosal vessels, with the risk of causing gastric bleeding.”

“Similarly, under the influence of acetaminophen, alcohol-caused liver damage and the toxic side effects of drugs increase, causing intense reactions in a short period, potentially leading to liver cell damage and acute liver failure!”

After finishing, Hou Weiguo’s expression also changed!

“Are there other patients?”

Chen Cang shook his head: “Actually, this is a probability issue, each person has a different constitution, the toxic side effects of drugs occur in some sensitive constitutions causing various reactions, worsening the condition!”

“But, it can be confirmed that the long-term use of these drugs with alcohol will indeed cause damage to the gastric mucosa and liver function!”

After hearing this, Hou Weiguo seemed to realize the unusualness of the matter!

He felt restless.

If the situation was truly like this, it certainly wasn’t limited to just this one place nationwide!

This matter must be taken seriously!

Around ten in the morning!

The anxious time passed slowly.

Finally, Director Xu called.

“Director Hou, acetaminophen was found inside! And the content is quite significant!”

“These folks are truly despicable, adding such substances to herbal tea, quite something!”

After hearing this, Hou Weiguo said: “Yes, I understand!”

After hanging up, he looked at Chen Cang: “Professor Chen, thank you, so many people would’ve been deceived without your efforts!”

“We will now convene a meeting and initiate an investigation!”

Chen Cang nodded!

“Thank you, Director Hou!”

Hou Weiguo’s face blushed: “Oh, we should be thanking you!”

“Without you, we wouldn’t have figured things out now.”

At this moment, Chen Cang was surprised to hear the system notification!

[Ding! Congratulations, you have uncovered the herbal tea scam, receiving ample rewards: 1. One golden Skill Book in neurosurgery; 2. Skill points +10;]

Chen Cang was overjoyed!

Another golden Skill Book!

Moreover, it’s exclusively for neurosurgery.

What a harvest!

Absolutely unexpected!

Also gained 10 skill points.

Pretty good!

…

…

ps: Adding Western medicine to herbal tea is not uncommon, but many people are still not aware, I hope everyone pays attention to this.

I’m really cautious about whether the herbal teas circulating in the market have this issue.

However, to be safe, everyone should avoid drinking it with alcohol or using herbal tea to interpret medicine.

Finally, thanks to the readers for their encouragement and votes.

Today one of our readers asked our project operator to operate well, after noticing our monthly ticket ranking was low.

Then the operator started bullying me…

Oh dear, so I’m forced by the operator’s pressure to reluctantly ask for votes.

Looking for monthly tickets, please…
